You have noticed the tall buildings towering into the sky, you have admired the vast ocean, you have appreciated the long river and the sunset. You say that the green trees and red flowers are the surprises of life, and a flying insect and a snowflake can all catch your eye - but have you ever paid attention to the land under your feet
Because it is so ordinary and common, it is easily overlooked.
Silent for tens of millions of years, raising trillions of people.
That's the great energy of it.
Fang Yan was so ashamed!
If it weren't for Qianye Bingbu's behavior, if it weren't for the love and respect he showed for the land, he would be like many people, indifferent to the land. Not close, nor distant, not looking closely, and not releasing emotions. It's just as it should be.
Without experiencing strong winds and high waves, without encountering earthquakes and tsunamis, without feeling the separation of life and death, without being in one's hometown rather than in a foreign country - how can one understand the true meaning of the land
Heaven is heaven, and earth is earth.
Heaven is father and earth is mother.
Everything in the world comes from parents.
No matter how many miracles humans create, they are only writing their legends.
They are the origin of this life.
Fang Yan's mind suddenly exploded, like a black curtain being torn apart, or like the scorching sun driving away the dark clouds above his head.
A wave of heat rolled up from its abdomen, as if someone had placed a hot water bottle there. Unlike the past, this heat wave was not scalding, but instead gave people a lazy and comfortable feeling.
The heart of Tai Chi rotates, and the domain of Tai Chi naturally unfolds.
Everything before my eyes has changed.
The initial Tai Chi heart is three-dimensional, and the Tai Chi domain is like a three-dimensional image, with birds, insects and fish all in sight, and even the slightest movement can be felt delicately.
In the battle against Qianye Bingbu at the top of Yijian Peak, Fang Yan's Tai Chi Heart broke through again when he encountered a crisis. The original three-dimensional image turned into clear lines. For example, a fish turned into a fish-shaped line, and a flower turned into a flower composed of flower-shaped lines.
It was like going from a colorful and finished canvas to a crude draft, which seemed like a step backward. But Fang Yan knew that this was not a step backward, but progress. Because his sensitivity to the things around him was much stronger than before, and his timing and reaction speed were more appropriate and quicker than before.
Could it be that, because Fang Yan has a new understanding of the earth and nature, the Heart of Tai Chi will undergo three breakthroughs
Seeing Fang Yan sitting in the driver's seat and not moving, Qianye Haowu was about to urge him.
Chiba Hyobu glanced at him and gave him a look that silenced him.
Qianye Haowu didn't dare to disobey his father's wishes. He just looked at Fang Yan sitting there in a daze with a confused look on his face.
Fang Yan's expression was sometimes doubtful, sometimes firm, sometimes sad, sometimes happy. As time passed, the heat in his dantian gradually faded. It was like a hot water bottle that had been used for a long time. The heat was taken away by the body, and the hot water bottle itself gradually became cold.
When the Tai Chi Heart stopped, the Tai Chi Realm disappeared. Fang Yan finally came to his senses, his face full of regret.
"Congratulations." Chiba Hyobu said.
"It's a pity that I'm still a little short of it." Fang Yan sighed. "I don't know where I'm short of it. I don't know when I'll have the next breakthrough."
"For us, climbing the martial arts path is much more difficult and dangerous than climbing high mountains. Some people persist for decades and still only go from zero to one, while others gain enlightenment overnight. Some people stand on the top of the mountain and see how beautiful the scenery is, while others stand at the foot of the mountain and see how majestic the mountain is. There are scenery everywhere on the mountain and below the mountain." Qianye Bingbu expressed his personal opinion. "It is better to have some enlightenment than to have no enlightenment. This failure will become the starting point for the next climb. One day, you will stand on the mountain and see the picturesque scenery of the mountains and rivers."
"Thank you." Fang Yan said gratefully. Although we are foreigners, it is difficult to form a heart seal. But the broad-mindedness of this Oriental man and the magnanimity of his way of dealing with things make people convinced. "If your words can make my Tai Chi heart break through again, then our fate is really deep. When I am a hundred years old, my descendants will write a book about me, and they will definitely write a lot about you. Fang Yan, a generation of Tai Chi master, broke through twice because of the Oriental Sword God Qianye Bingbu-----"
Qianye Bingbu smiled silently and said, "I may not be in your letter, but you will definitely be in mine."
"That's fine." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Remember to sign the book when the time comes."
Chiba Hyobu looked at Chiba Haowu and gave him some serious instructions in Japanese.
Qianye Haowu was stunned, staring at Fang Yan angrily, and said: "Father, this bastard has no good intentions, and curses you-----"
Qianye Bingbu waved his hand and said, "Whether it is auspicious or not is not due to the curse of others, but depends on the arrangement of heaven and your own choice. Remember what I just said."
"Yes, father." Qianye Haowu had no choice but to agree. "I will definitely give him the letter from my father."
"Don't let me down." Chiba Hyobu smiled gently.
When the car arrived at Yanziwu, Fang Yan took Qianye Bingbu and Qianye Haowu, father and son, out the back door.
He knew that this was a date between Qianye Bingbu and the old drunkard. The others were outsiders and there was no need to get involved in these things.
Fang Yan pushed open the door to the courtyard, and a gust of cool air with the aroma of wine immediately hit him in the face.
Qianye Bingbu sniffed greedily and said with a smile: "Although I don't like drinking, I can still taste that this wine is good."
"It's really good wine." Fang Yan said with a smile. "He brewed it himself."
"Then we'll have to drink a big bowl of wine." Chiba Bingbu said. "I just don't know if the host is willing to welcome guests with good wine."
Crunch-----
A man in a gray robe stood up from a rattan chair under the eaves of the corridor. Without even looking at the three people standing at the door, he took a sip from the wine pot and said, "When friends come from afar, how can we not treat them with good wine? There are bowls on the wall, wash them yourself. There are jars on the ground, pick them up yourself."
"It's a pleasure." Chiba Hyobu said with a smile.
He turned to look at Fang Yan and said, "I'm here."
"You're here." Fang Yan nodded. He promised to help him see the old drunkard, and he did it.
"I look forward to your future." Chiba Bingbu said, "I know you will become a great person. Although you are already great now."
"Thank you." Fang Yan thanked him sincerely in a low voice. "You are also a very remarkable person. What you can do, I may not be able to do."
Chiba Bingbu looked at Chiba Haowu, reached out to help him untie and then tie the white silk on his forehead, and helped him straighten his collar, like an ordinary father caring for his children.
He smiled brightly and said in a gentle voice: "You can forget me, but remember every word I said."
"Father-----" Chiba Yoshitake looked at his father in panic.
"Take good care of your mother and sister."
Chiba Bingbu walked into the yard and closed the door.
Fang Yan and Qianye Haowu also wanted to go in, but were blocked outside by the wooden door.
Qianye Haowu's eyes were red. Fang Yan glanced at him and said, "Your father -- he was a very remarkable person."
Qianye Haowu stared at Fang Yan with vicious eyes. He couldn't understand what Fang Yan was saying.
Qianye Bingbu did not use a bowl, but picked up a large jar, turned the jar mouth downward, and drank madly.
After only three or two sips, he started coughing violently, and all the wine was sprayed out.
He put the vat down and said, breathing heavily, "Good wine. Very strong wine."
"Drink strong liquor like this, drink strong liquor like this. A man should do this."
Qianye Bingbu walked to the eaves of the corridor with a large jar, sat down on the ground, and leaned against the wall in an unpresentable manner, saying: "There is a kind of wine in the East called Chrysanthemum Wine. Although the name is elegant, the taste of the wine is strong. It is like fire when you drink it, and you will get drunk if you drink it."
"There are so many exotic Chinese wines that they are too numerous to count. The one that I remember most vividly is "Three Bowls and You're Not Going Away". I only drank three bowls and passed out drunk. I was drunk for three days and three nights. When I woke up, I found myself sleeping on the bed of the bar owner. She was kneeling at the head of the bed and had already cooked millet porridge for me-----"
"Speaking of women, our Oriental women are the most gentle, respectful and docile. I was in a hurry last time, so I can't show my hospitality. If there is a chance, I will definitely take you to the most famous Taohong Art Museum in the East. Drink golden wine, hold red and tender hands, and enjoy all the blessings in the world."
"Northern women are bold, southern women are romantic. Jiangsu women are graceful, Hunan women are passionate. The three famous clubs in Beijing, the Capital Club, the America Club, and the Chang'an Club, are filled with beauties. There are countless beauties in each of the southeast, northwest, and northeast. They compete for beauty and have been undefeated for thousands of years." The old drunkard said unyieldingly. "When it comes to beauties in the world, China is number one."
"That's a very arrogant statement. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you consider a fairy is what I consider an ugly woman. This is very normal. When I was young, I practiced swordsmanship very hard. I saw a woman with the appearance of a fairy. I followed her for thousands of miles and finally won her favor----"
"To me, beauty is like stars, I can reach out and pick them."
"In order to challenge the Aikido master Ono Shinji, I fought against his thirteen disciples alone in one night, and defeated them with my sword at dawn-----"
"I have fought eighty-three battles in a row, and won eighty-three battles in a row. I swept across the East Ocean single-handedly, defeated the Twelve King Kongs of the West and the Savage King with my sword, and challenged Qinglong with my undefeated prestige. Now I am Qinglong - the Qinglong in white clothes is majestic. One sword shocks the world, and one roar shakes the nine continents. Who dares not to submit to my sword?"
"It's a pity that you got there first. I've heard that the Three Dragons and Seven Tigers of China are protecting China's peace, so I was ready to cross to the East 20 years ago to slay the Three Dragons and Seven Tigers one by one and spread my power in the East----"
"As a result, I killed you and frightened you so much that you didn't dare to cross the sea to the East for twenty years. No warrior from the East dared to challenge you."
"We were young then, and we thought there were countless possibilities—"
"We were still young at that time, and youth is our capital------" (To be continued)
